infoblox_a_record Resource

An A record resource associates a domain name with an IPv4 address.

The following table describes the parameters you can define in the resource block of the record:

Parameter	Required/ Optional	Description	Example Value
`fqdn`	Required	Specifies the fully qualified domain name to which you want to assign the IP address.	`host43.zone12.org`
`network_view`	Optional	Specifies the network view to use when allocating an IP address from a network dynamically. If a value is not specified, the name `default` is used for the network view. For static allocation, do not use this field.	`networkview_name`
`dns_view`	Optional	Specifies the DNS view in which the zone exists. If a value is not specified, the name `default` is used for DNS view.	`dns_view_name`
`ttl`	Optional	Specifies the Time to Live value for the record. There is no default value for this parameter. If a value is not specified, then in NIOS, the TTL value is inherited from the parent object of the DNS record for this resource. A TTL value of 0 (zero) means caching should be disabled for this record.	`600`
`comment`	Optional	Describes the record.	`static record #1`
`ext_attrs`	Optional	Specifies the set of NIOS extensible attributes that are attached to the record.	`jsonencode({})`

Additionally, define the following parameters for infoblox_a_record resource:

Parameter

Required/
Optional

Description

Example Value

ip_addr

Required only for static allocation

Specifies the IPv4 address to associate with the A record.

For allocating a static IP address, specify a valid IP address.
For allocating a dynamic IP address, configure the cidr field instead of ip_addr. Optionally, specify a network_view if you do not want to allocate it in the network view default.

91.84.20.6

cidr

Required only for dynamic allocation

Specifies the network from which to allocate an IP address when the ip_addr field is empty.
The address is in CIDR format. For static allocation, use ip_addr instead of cidr.
